本研究考察了墨西哥裔美国人三代人在七个生活满意度指数（LSI）项目结构上的差异。将项目的协方差结构视为几个参数矩阵的函数，我们通过检验涉及一个或多个参数矩阵的等价约束的假设来分析析因不变性。协方差结构分析（LISREL）用于评估因子不变性。在老一代和其他两代（即中年和年轻一代）之间发现了LSI的析因结构的差异。即使考虑到教育、收入和文化适应方面的代际差异，这些差异仍然存在。进一步的分析表明，代际差异只包含在三个一阶因素中的一个（即，一致性）。因此，在其他两个维度（即热情和情绪语气）上进行代际比较是合适的
This study examines differences in the structure of seven Life Satisfaction Index (LSI) items across three generations of Mexican Americans. Viewing the covariance structure of the items as a function of several parameter matrices, we analyzed factorial invariance by testing hypotheses involving equivalence constraints on one or more parameter matrices. Analysis of covariance structures, or LISREL, was used to assess the factorial invariance. Differences in the factorial structure of the LSI were found between the older generation and the other two generations (i.e., the middle-age and younger generations). These differences persisted even when generational differences in education, income, and acculturation were taken into account. Further analyses revealed that generational differences were contained in only one (i.e., congruence) of the three first-order factors. Consequently, intergenerational comparisons in the other two dimensions (i.e., zest and mood tone) are appropriate
